About

A short, easy F-road starting at Geysir, running through an actual forested section — unusual for a highland road.

Low-stakes compared to most F-roads on this list. It's still an F-road — a 4x4 is required, not optional.

It's one of the few F-roads that runs through actual forest rather than open highland, which is part of why it's often suggested to people driving an F-road for the first time.

One small stream crossing is noted, and it's not considered a serious obstacle on record. That said, 'easy for an F-road' still means 4x4 required and conditions can change — check before you go.

Reviews

Frequently
asked
questions

What car do I need for F333?
Any 4x4. It's rated easy, with just one small stream crossing noted.
Is F333 a good first F-road?
It's often suggested as one, given the easy rating and single small stream crossing — but it still requires a 4x4, not a 2WD car.
Where does F333 start?
At Geysir, making it easy to combine with a Golden Circle visit.
Are there river crossings on F333?
One small stream crossing is noted — not considered serious, but still worth checking current conditions before you go.
Can I drive F333 in a 2WD car?
No. Even an easy-rated F-road is legally closed to 2WD vehicles, and rental insurance won't cover 2WD damage here.
